8:00-10:00 PM THE AMAZING RACE - After traveling five continents, 22 cities and nearly 40,000 miles, the series' 20th installment concludes in a special two-hour season finale as the final four Teams race through Japan and onto Honolulu where one Team will win the $1 million prize. Hosted by Phil Keoghan.

I was thinking since the person who saw Dave and Rachel in Japan said they apparently were the last team to arrive and we know they are in the final 3, maybe the last 2 legs are going to be with the final 3 teams. But i know it's a crazy idea, maybe the 4th team just fell far behing a la Nick/Vicki.

I just hope that they continue the way, they have done the last two seasons. Final four one team eliminated, not final four and the last team there arrive get another chance, like they have done before!!!!

To have 4 teams left for the start of the May 6th show, there either has to be another night where the show doesn't air (in addition to Apr 1) plus 1 non-elim leg somewhere in the next 4 - OR - two of the next 4 legs would have to be non-elim legs.

There will be two more NEL's to meet the limits. May 6th is a two hour two episode show, that's what is confusing you I think. The show airs all night but April 1.

The double show for the finale wasn't so confusing as was exactly how they would still have four teams in the running at the start of the finale night show.

It would seem to have to be two more NELs, but that struck me as excessive since that would make two of the four remaining legs before finale night NELs. Is it normal to have NELs more frequently towards the end like that?

Sorry, we had some formatting issues that ATE the TimeLine so am waiting for Dom to have Internet again so we can update this again. He is heading back now so hopefully we will be back in business before the next show.

I did a little leg summary in post 3 of the legs 4 and 5 if that helps. Some was my spec though and I was def off on the order of the tasks!

It's a bit late in the game to argue terminology, but this is a battle worth fighting. TBC is not ToBeConfirmed. It is To Be Continued, which is a quite different concept. Let's be purists in our use of terminology so nobody should be confused.
